What are you afraid of?What makes you freak?

[gizmo1979]

For me it's snakes.I really hate snakes.Maybe Ann coulter.

[redqueen]

1. The dark.

I have an overactive imagination.

I lie to myself (and others) and say I'm not scared, but inside, I'm terrified.

[Floogeldy]

28. BOO!

B-)

[redqueen]

30. hehe

Meanie!

:cry:

:P

[KittyWampus]

2. slugs, they are disgusting

[gizmo1979]

4. Yeah I hate slugs too!

Got those in the Strawberries.YUCK!

[Darth_Kitten]

3. Power tools, chainsaws, etc

they freak me out, the sound of them.

I just couldn't ever use them, though I respect those who have to. They just scare me. :(

[redqueen]

6. Those're FUN!

Except for the sawdust, if you don't have a mask. Uck.

[gizmo1979]

7. Is it because they rattle your teeth?

Or just because they are really loud?

[Darth_Kitten]

14. Very loud plus.......

they can be dangerous....I'm such a worrier, it's the little mother hen in me. O8)

See guys working with those things and I'm like.... :scared:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

55. I agree. Damn...freak me out.

[DS1]

5. Those ghost documentaries

Not the scary movies, but actual recounts of sightings with video or not - it's just some creepy shit

[nytemare]

8. Love those History Channel and Discovery docs

I like creepy stuff, though!

[gizmo1979]

9. I never believe

those I always feel like they're a setup.Of course if I should ever happen upon a Ghost,that would be a different story.

[DS1]

11. I've seen one

so I'm a bit less skeptical than you ;-)

[gizmo1979]

19. What did it look like?

Just interested.

[DS1]

21. A figure floated by outside a set of bay windows

at the brother of a friends house. They tried to pass it off as car lights, but I pushed them later and they fessed up. It for damn sure wasn't car lights :D

[madeline_con]

58. Creepy.

I was lying in bed AWAKE the other morning, and the kid across the street knocked on the door. I saw my son (10) go by the doorway in his undies, and told him to eat some breakfast before he had the kid in.

My other son (22) asked me who I was talking to, that the little guy was still asleep, and that he'd sent the neighbor kid home.

I was awake, o.k?

[redqueen]

10. Did you see the one

about the family in Georgia (or was it Alabama? anyway one of the southeastern states)... where the little girl saw a friendly ghost for a long time... the mom thought it was an imaginary friend... then the neighbor heard a description and told the mom it was the former resident? Then a bad ghost showed up...

This kinda stuff is why I'm scared of the dark! :scared:

[KittyWampus]

16. RedQueen, Always Remember That No Spirit Can Be Around You Unless

you allow them to be there.

Like a transistor radio. You just change the channel. Tell them to go away. They have no choice.

[redqueen]

20. You think so?

I have this suspicion that spirits are around us, always... freaks me out sometimes. I don't think they're all malicious...

I hope I'm wrong... I always think of that suspicion I have when I'm doing something naughty. I really don't want anyone around watching during those times.

:blush:

[Kraklen]

13. Those used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid.

I used to take them at their word. The alien abduction stories especially, those got popular right when I was at a real gullible age.

[Darth_Kitten]

17. yeah, those are great.....

they can be so eerie. :)

[WhollyHeretic]

12. Young republicans really creep me out

:scared:

[gizmo1979]

22. Yes they need to be beat

about the head until their views are more in line with the human race.

[WhollyHeretic]

27. And until they stop wearing bow ties

Seriously, who under 70 wears bow ties but young republicans?

[gizmo1979]

44. And tucker carlson

ooooh that's a creepy site.

[Floogeldy]

15. Bees and wasps

To this day, I will run from them and scream for my mommy!

B-)

[redqueen]

32. I used to be like that.

I've never been stung... I think that's one reason why.

Now I still panic on the inside, but I try to stay still... I usually succeed, too. Sometimes I still do that freakout fast run thing, though. It's embarassing... :)

[Floogeldy]

36. Yea

I've only been stung once, when I was about 30. And it was just a very brief, quick sting, without full force and effect.

My dad made me scared of them when I was kid, because he would throw gas on their nests and scream, "RUN," as he threw lit matches on them.

Then, a guy I knew told me that his dad was stung on the back of the neck by a wasp and died.

Plus, I had a mean swimming instructor that was punishing me by making me sit out of the pool and a wasp was crawling toward me. I wasn't supposed to move. He said, "Good, let it sting you." I cried.

Me no like.

x(

[redqueen]

39. Awww

:pals:

That thing with your dad, though... *that* sounded funny.

Sorry!

Have a great weekend. :hug:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

[HysteryDiagnosis]

26. Ghostbusters...... creepy smile..... now I won't be able to sleep

[Tsiyu]

23. Just what do you plan on doing with this information?

:tinfoilhat:

[gizmo1979]

25. I can't divulge that

information at this time.Just be assured it will be used in a non-combative situation,no need to fear alittle information.:freak:

[Tsiyu]

33. "That is for me to know

and for you to find out..."

[gizmo1979]

45. Vee have vays to make

[Tsiyu]

49. Oooh! Are you gonna tickle me?

Cuz I AM NOT ticklish. Not in the least. Well. except for in that ONE little spot...and I'm not telling where that is, and you can't make me! Nyah! :P

[HysteryDiagnosis]

[HysteryDiagnosis]

37. I was bad.... I just had a few, are you ready for this?? A few

chocolate covered espresso beans. Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn they are good. I'll be awake until the marshmallow monsters are long gone....

[Tsiyu]

42. Last night I took a Benadryl AND drank coffee

and I was wide awake. Tonight it's a generic allergy med and a hot Caramel Cream. Oh My Word this Caramel Cream is awesome....so I am your full companion in Insomnia!


Aaack! the Staypuff Marshmallow Man just popped up!!!!! (slow dialup:shrug:)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

50. Dialup.... ugh. I feel your pain..... glad the caramel cream is doing you

well.... sorry to hear that you need benadryl, but I hear it works wonders.....

Do check this out if you have time.... it "might" be of value to you...

Allergies are abnormal immune reactions to specific agents known as antigens or allergens. Examples of common allergens are foods, drugs, pollens, dust mites, mold spores, animal dander, feathers, and insect venoms, as well as other substances which non-allergic people find relatively non-dangerous with usual exposure. Allergies may develop when an otherwise innocent substance has significant contact with an already inflamed surface (sensitization), such as from a viral infection or exposure to irritants, and becomes involved in the immune response. Thereafter, repeated exposure to such a substance may evoke an allergic response with the release of histamine and a variety of other pro-inflammatory substances, including enzymes, leukotrienes, and interleukins, and the creation of damaging free radicals. The multiplicity of these pro-inflammatory substances explains why single medications such as antihistamines often fail to completely control symptoms

[HysteryDiagnosis]

38. Dupe

[Champ]

31. Let's see

Afraid of being misunderstood. I sometimes can't adequately express myself to those close to me in a relationship and I come out more misunderstood that I wanted. Afraid of saying something that will come out completely wrong, if I'm afraid of loosing someone it affects me. Afraid of doing something that doesn't truly reflect who I am and leaves long-lasting impressions that are hard to shake. I NEED to overcome this fear.

I can't think of anything other then that, I'm not afraid of gangs, weapons, natural disasters, bugs, trying new things, peforming stunts which has a chance of physical injury, 18-wheeler coming after me, I really don't get startled by those things I fear it affects my judgment in those situations. Wish I could have the same attitude when it comes to what I'm really afraid of.

On edit: I lied, there was time where I was truly terrified. It was when I was alone in a parking with a loose Rotweiler. I wasn't freaked by the initial accounter but once I realized it was difficult to get out of the situation and he kept growling and approaching me is when I freaked. By I used my brain to get out of the situation instead of running which would've been a big no-no.

[gizmo1979]

47. I also have had such problems

I always found it helpfull to say to myself that"sometimes you just have to say,what the fuck".

[mongo]

35. Hospitals!

and medical procedures in general in a really big way.

Had way too many surgeries as a kid, and now I start shaking uncontrollably if someone tries to put an IV in my arm.

You never get much sympathy from Drs or nurses either.

A few years ago I actually ran out of a urologists office screaming obscenities. He was a really big asshole to me to start with.

[Bunny]

40. Rats, mice.

:scared:

[Ikonoklast]

41. Answering polls like this.....

.....Oh no it's happening again!!! Cheese! For the love of God I must have cheese!!

[gizmo1979]

46. HaHa you thought you could escape.

Oh my I think cheese sounds good.oh no nooooooooooo!

[distantearlywarning]

43. Spiders.

I'm really a girly girl that way. They just really creep me out. All those legs and nasty fat bodies. Ugh.

Just talking about this is making my skin crawl.

[Arugula Latte]

64. I'm with ya.

I hate friggin' spiders. I know they're good for eating bad insects, blah blah blah. I don't put them outside; I squish them. Dead spiders don't breed is my motto.

[Outrider]

48. Needles

Last time I had to get a shot four people had to hold me down. If they don't I'm likely to hurt the person trying to give me the shot. Not purposefully really, I just really freak out and because I'm a large person if I start to struggle I could hurt someone. Wish they would just listen to me a strap me down, tried to get them to do that last time, but they came up with some excuse that they couldn't do that even with my consent.

[bliss_eternal]

51. Commercials for The Exorcist

I haven't been able to watch any part of that film since my first viewing as a kid, many years ago.

During the re-release of the film a few years ago, I had to put a pillow over my face during the commercials while watching television. Something about that horrible voice coming out of that little girl--yikes. Not to mention the sound of the bed posts pounding the floor.

Strangely enough I have no issues at all with the Omen--but can't do a thing with the Exorcist.

[barb162]

52. injections or having my blood drawn; I will never get used to it

[Jamastiene]

53. I can deal with snakes, but

spiders make me invent new dances if they get on me. I don't like to be in the same room with them.

[greblc]

54. My Children being harmed.

[gizmo1979]

62. I think we all have that one!

I'll go as far as to say any child harmed!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

56. I'm scared of Cornfields, the dark, and heights.

I'm weird. :shrug:
Duckie

[nytemare]

57. I am scared that if I hear * say "nucular" once more, my head will

blow up like a nuclear bomb.

:nuke:

[hyphenate]

59. Creepy crawlies

Insects of any kind, caterpillars, slugs, and anything else in that category. Ugh. <shiver>

[youthere]

60. damn near everything...

I'm a total chickenshit. The biggies though are heights, birds and snakes (not necessarily in that order).

[blue neen]

61. Cockroaches.

The giant ones that you see down in Florida that they call "Palmetto Bugs." Ugh. They're ghastly.

[Eastside Blue]

63. Ahhh ... memories

Yes, I used to live in Florida. Palmetto bugs are high up the list - particularly the ones that fly (and they always fly straight towards your face). Spiders - but only the larger ones. The ones below would probably lead to heart failure:

http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/n_camel_spider.htm

[tinfoilinfor2005]

67. and the scorpions...

don't forget the scorpions. Clickety click on the tile...whoa, there goes that spine chill.

[bertha katzenengel]

65. Flying roaches.

Regular roaches are bad enough. The ones that fly -- jesus FUCK!

[LaurenG]

66. 3 and 1/2 more years.

Of this bull.

[MrSlayer]

68. Roaches.

My kryptonite. I'm fine with all other bugs, vermin and the like but a roach freaks me out to the point where I have to leave. I'm offended by their very existence.

[Wapsie B]

69. Driving on hilly roads

and heights.

[nuxvomica]

71. Scariest ride of my life was on the road to Taormina, Sicily

It's one of those zig-zag roads that hugs the side of a cliff and has a lots of nearly 360-degree turns. The destination is an expensive tourist trap and definitely not worth the ride.

[Wapsie B]

72. That sounds absolutely nerve-wracking.

I'll bet its beautiful though.
I had a tough time even driving in Los Angeles or the Black Hills. If I were raised in a mountainous area I might've gotten more used to it.

[nuxvomica]

70. Heights

Especially tall buildings. I used to work on the 6th floor of an 11-story building and it didn't bother me to be in there but I couldn't stand near it outside and look up without getting dizzy. The worst is theater balconies and stadium bleechers and the higher rows in Imax theaters. Oh, and Ferris wheels, too, but only when they stop to let people on or off when I'm at the top, dangling, with just that bar preventing me from sliding out of that slippery, slippery seat. :scared:

[JimmyJazz]

73. small planes flying over my car.

I saw a small plane crash when I was a kid and I freak out if I have to drive under a small plane.

[TexasLady]

74. gravity

when Im in a plane, that is.

[trof]

75. I am fearless, for I am pure in heart and have the strength of ten.

yep
thass me

[supernova]

76. Loud noises mostly

Loud voices including people suddenly yelling or talking loudly as at a party or noisy restaurant

Dogs barking,

Loud power tools suddenly starting, if I'm not working with them or know that someone is using them

Sirens, obviously

I startle very easily and it really :scared: me when these things happen. :-(

[Democracy White]

77. Dentists

Dentists creep me out, especially their instruments.
I've seen the movie "Marathon Man" and the part where the Nazi dentist guy tortures that dude saying "Is it safe? over and over.
I actually have a very nice dentist but still...

Oh and Bush. Creeps me out. :scared: :scared:

Dee

[benny05]

78. Ann Coulter

otherwise, syringes...always hated shots for immunization and meds
